Switch-jaw.



through the opening 2 into the counterbored portion Il, the dowels 13 entering the openings 14, after which the jaw is firmly' ter-boredopening;` 3; the lock nut 19 isy vthen placed on the threaded end 6 ot the stud With the lug in electri al contact with the cable or electrical conductor positioned on the'stud. and between the said nuts. ./lhe nut l2 may be madeot hardened steel.' it so desired, or any iher material cheaperl than copper may be availed of, the current beingr'carrital by the said jaws and the stud.

It is clear that in place of the doivels 13 other,equivalent devices may be used, as screws or pins7 and it necessary the position ofv the. dowels within the openings in the nut 12 may; be insured through the use ot said screws extending' at right angles and into engagement with the said dowels.

Various minor changes in design and materia] ma)- he availed of in order to embody the invcntiw idea in switch jaws adapted to carry current ot different intensities Whether used on the switch panel orwhether in engagement with the blade end of fuses, etc.

'Having thus described my invention, claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent y l. A structure of the class described comr prising a stad.y spaced jaws carried by one.

ond of the stud, means passing' through the alfa nut on one end thereof, slots 1n the said end, Jaws positioned inthe slots, an element passing` through the stud and engaging the ends of the jaws Whereby the parts are held fixed, a cap covering the said nut and the end of the stud, means carried by the. nut for engagement with a panel, whereby the nu't' is prevented from turning relatively'thereto` and other means Carried by the stud for holding the parts fixed on the panel.

A structure of the elass described comprising a stud, a nut on one end thereof, slots-in the said stud, switch jaws positioned in the slots, a pin passing through the stud and engaging;- the said jaws, whereby the parts are held together, a cap covering the 'nut and the said end of the stud, lugs on the nut adapted to engage a panel, whereby the parts are prevented from relative movement, and means on the other end of the stud for engagement with the opposite side ot' the panel7 whereby the structure is held in position. k A

Ll. A structure` of the class described comprising a stud, transversely extendingr slots in one end thereof, jaws positioned in the said slots, a pin extending through the stud and the aWs for holding the parts together, a nut on the said end of the stud, the nut being prpvided with lugs for engagement with a. panel, whereby relative movement of the parts is prevented, a cap engaging the sides of the nut and provided With openings through which the said jaws extend,`

whereby movement of the stud and jaws relatively to the nut is prevented, and nuts carried by the other end of the stud for holdingl the parts in position on the panel. ln testimony whereof have signed my name to rthis specitieation in the presence ot two subscribing' Witnesses.
